[ Featuring Cris Waters ]
You've been
Killing me so softly
Memories
Still haunt me
Of who I used to be
Echoes
In the dark
They taunt me
Screaming God forgot me
You brought me to my knees
I been fighting for so long
Feels like forever
I can't go on
I surrender
I'm falling
Hoping you'll catch me
Feel the crashing waves so strong
A single feather
Of strength is all
That's left in me
In this storm that
Has me lost at sea
Searching for a lighthouse
Somewhere out there in the fog
To lead me back to shore
Pick me up
Dust me off
I'm so dirty
I just wanna shine again
Make me feel brand new
Light me up
Wipe me down
Am I worthy
Of a chance to try again
Can I be
Brand new
Waters
I'm bathed in it
Your name is used like defibrillators
It's applied to me then I'm saved with it
Oh lord I was saved from it
I was close to em, then strayed from em
Now I'm right here where I'm sposed to be
Give the pen to father cause it came from him
In a dark place, you made sun
When you're chosen for it you can't run
My mama told me that
All the demons was tryna hold me back
Knee deep, tryna find a boat or raft
In the water I started to sink
Suffocate tryna breathe I was crying, choking, gasping
No oxygen, til you pulled me up out of it
Now I'm feeling like Peter
You pulled me up out of the waters now I walk on top of it
And you gave me a name from it
Everytime you put me through the flames
I was walking right in I ain't running away from it
Everytime they pushed me to the edge
I just dangled my feet looking down as I hang from it
Everytime I was facing a giant
Like David Goliath you wouldn't let me break from it
I ain't feeling like I need a break from it
Let my body collapse if I ain't running
I ain't ducking no storms if they coming my way
I'm prepared for whenever the rains coming
You are far from a man if you promote the violence
Cause children are catching the strays from it
I was all in the back and I ain't fronting
Father you got my soul and I ain't budging
Ahh
You're a light house lord
Dying on the inside crying out lord ah
You found me
Again
Pick me up
Dust me off
I'm so dirty
I just wanna shine again
Make me feel brand new
Light me up
Wipe me down
Am I worthy
Of a chance to try again
Can I be
Brand new
